Invitation to Psychology weaves scientific and critical thinking into the fabric of psychological science. Authors Carole Wade, Carol Tavris, Samuel Sommers and Lisa Shin empower you to separate fact from fiction and to distinguish wishful thinking from thinking wisely. In so doing, they inspire you to ask questions and be willing to wonder, essential skills for learning how to think like psychologists.

The 8th Edition has been updated with coverage of impactful recent events such as the widely felt implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. An expanded focus on recent real-world events and popular culture illustrates the relevance of psychological principles in understanding our world today.
